Correlations and Topology in Moiré Materials
Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland, 27 – 30 July 2025
Scope
This workshop will bring together leading experimentalists and theorists in the field of strongly correlated and topological moiré materials: a new class of quantum materials with highly tunable properties. In particular twisted bilayer graphene and bilayer transition-metal dichalcogenides have shown to realize unconventional electron phases, ranging from strange metals, fractional Chern insulators to exotic magnetic states, Mott insulators and heavy fermion physics. Understanding these phases is one of the key questions of quantum matter research. Our workshop will focus on comparing theory to experiments of correlated moiré materials, and enhancing collaboration within the moiré community through intensive discussions. The goal of this workshop is to establish the current state-of-the-art knowledge for correlated moiré materials, and relevant open research questions for future research.
